I wonder whether the people here start to do the same...The majority of the book would have receive that notes (twilight, Gossip Girl books, Da Vinci Code, Paulo Coelho books,....
)
Hey, I thought the Da Vinci Code was very well done. It's a clever story, and a fun read, and you gotta like that it pissed alot of people off! My grandparents were freakin' out! It's not a literary masterpiece, but it IS a pop fiction masterpiece.....
I think I have pretty discerning and sophisticated taste in books, and I dismissed it without reading it because of the hype (I thought for sure it would be stupid), but I liked it.
Ok, 'nuff OT....

Here and there, I've been re-reading the originals, and now I'm just really pissed off at how much the BJA penned books suck.
In contrast the new books really are written for retards.
I might actually go out and join the post-it campaign if the rumours concerning Paul of Dune are correct...

I'm just asking because I got confused between you two. Really. *angel*
